Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Alright, thanks to gerritv's instructions, I have now compiled navit from source including scaling the icons. Big Thanks.

Question - I'd like the icons to be a little bigger in the menu. I added 60 to the lines in the wiki about scaling (32 48 60) and (8 16 32 48 60). I got a lot of icons for 60, except the gui icons? Any way to change them as well?

If I've been following this right, the only change of gerritv's currently outstanding is the screen un-blank? The rest (icons, exiting, etc) have all been incorporated in the past several svn releases?

I apt-got patch placed the diff-1 file (track 282) in the navit folder and ran patch -p0 diff-1 (I did place the other associated files in their respective directories).

I let it go for 10 minutes or so, didn't see any action or changes. Compiled, don't think it worked. Any advice?

Thanks, got it working now, i was wondering if you know, if its possible where i can get a proper .bin file of a google satellite view at what zoom level 3 would be in maemo mapper?

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

murky-

Navit only works with openstreetmaps, reisplanner, and some garmin maps. They use a vector format which is re-drawn on the fly for your current zoom level as you move about the map.

It doesn't work with images like maemo mapper does. So, you won't be able to find the type of map you are looking for.

Routing and re-routing (my most used feature) is possible because of the use of vector based maps. If you switched to image based maps, you would be limited to off-line routing like maemo mapper.

@munky261
sorry, i could have been more clear
@lemmyslender
i'm using your osd layout from the wiki, i do like it and it's a good base to work on, thanks.

has someone tweaked with the route element in navit.xml file?
i'm testing navit from home to work and it doesn't let me do the usual route. speeds in the route statement are in some cases really slow, by changing some speeds from 10 or 30 to 50 (which is the usual low limit in italy) i got the same route i usually do. is that documented somewhere?
i've been succesful in setting a route from italy to austria with reiseplaner maps, but the interface is pretty unintuitive, could i be helpful by putting how to do it in the wiki or here? (not now because i get up wery early tomorrow). thanks a lot to gerrit, dwould, lemmyslender and everybody is working on navit, i really like it.

ernia-
glad you like my setup.

I had to do the same thing to get realistic routing. I think I read about changing it in one of the bug reports. dwould submitted a bug report to use ismaxspeed on openstreetmaps when displaying the max speed. Hopefully, this would also get used in routing as well.

Ernia, help with documenting on the wiki is always welcome, just sign up for a userid.

The settings for the rest of the icons defaults to 8, 16, 32, 48, 96 in the configure.in file. You can modify that by using --enable-svg2png-scaling="your desired sizes" on the configure command line (along with the other options).

I will try to add info on all of the possible configure parameters in the next week. (It is not an easy file to read but after lots of practice I can now modify it :-)

That is the classic symptom of Linux/Unix command waiting for input. You need to add a '<' in front of the diff-1, i.e., it should read 'patch -p0 < diff-1'.
You should place the diff-1 file in navit level dir, then run the command there. The diff-1 file has paths to subdirs.

gerritv- Thanks, I'll give that a try. I must have missed that, or actually, I think I tried it at the end of the line instead of the middle.

Ah-ha I added 60 to ~scaling-flag and ~scaling-nav. I will try adding to ~scaling.


Currently as of svn2017 I don't get any icons for the next_turn on the osd, and toggle_announcer doesn't work any more (since the latest osd changes). Anyone else having these problems? (Volume shows up, but doesn't yet work, this is correct).

Hi Team :-)
We are now also alive and well at Maemo
The Click to Install there gets you the current SVN version. Note that this means that some items might not work for a day due to the rapid nature enhancements happening. (as of this AM the zoom buttons/icons are not working but that will be addressed shortly)
